A Day Away...22º

Following the weather forecast last week, sunshine was predicted for Monday...It looked like a perfect day for our last Costco run before the snow flies...We left about daybreak, followed the winding road down Buford and up Rattlesnake grades, met lots of empty log trucks coming into Wallowa County...We arrived at Winco, stocked up on produce, filled many bags from the bulk foods section and by 9:45 we pulled into a parking spot, close to the door, at Costco.

We opted to stay in the car and let the hoard of people scatter throughout the store, before we, each with a cart, list in hand, joined them to do our shopping...Herb always has a list with the basics, coffee, butter etc. and I stocked up on chex cereal and nuts to make our Christmas snack that we share with several families...We left Costco before noon and were soon on the road, headed home.

We usually have lunch/dinner in Lewiston but yesterday opted for lunch at the new/old Boggan's Cafe on the Grande Ronde River...A favorite place for fishermen and river rafters and Wallowa County people going to and from Idaho...It burned to the ground last year but was rebuilt on the same footprint as before...They made it more roomy in the dining area, with many windows, it is bright, cheery and clean...They are known for their milkshakes and basic menu, no frills, just good food...We both ordered the halibut fish and chips, passed on the milkshake, shared a beer instead...It was a good day...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Boggan's Oasis, open and ready for business.
